[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put me down for one who thinks that some of these cat rescue groups, while well-intentioned, go overboard and ultimately deprive cats of loving homes.

I am a cat-lover, having them since age 2. As an adult, I wanted to adopt a cat, having lost my previous one to kidney disease. I filled out an application, but when they saw I has a job, they said NO. They said they only adopted cats out to married couple with one at-home spouse, or to single people who work from home. I then said I'd be happy to take two cats - figuring they could keep each other company - and again they said no because I didn't have "experience" owning two cats at the same time. (Never mind that I was able to raise a daughter on my own.....apparently I wasn't capable of caring for two adult cats.)

So I adopted two adult cats from another group. One lived 11 years, and the other is still with me - 14 years later. [/quote]

I actually fostered for a group and the main people would decide who " deserved" the cat. Who had a nicer house, who didn't have kids, etc. [/quote]
